I have a 24" long bankers box tightly filled with old concertina music
that will go into recycling unless there's a taker out there. I bought
this large collection in 1985 together with accordion materials and this music was old then. Yes there are arrangements in there. No I do not
have a list of tunes.

When you say "concertina music", that can mean different things
to different people.
To me, I would think of English System concertainas. (Small, hexagonal, octagonal, or duodecagonal.
To others, there would be "Anglo System" concertinas. (Also
small, hexagonal, octagonal or possibly duodecagonal.)
And yet to others, there would be music for The Chemnitzer (big
square box), or the Bandoneon (similar in shape). The Chemnitzer
(which is often called "Concertina" by its players, is most commonly
used for Polka music in the midwest US, though it originated in Germany.
(And it tends to require rather specialized notation, so this may be
what you have -- and it would be useless to me.)
Squeeze On,

So if you were truly interested in 'very old' concertina music regardless of meaning, you would have investigated it or acquired it sight unseen rather than expound repetitively on the types.
The stock is gone to a delighted musician who found most of the material came from the United Kingdom.
A most astute reply came from Ike and I congratulate him.

The music for the Chemnitzer has special markings at the top
indicating which key you need to press. Many are just numeric, but
there are ones with asterisk '*', '#', and a dagger or cross.
And -- in addition, there is a '^' above some to indicate
bellows travel direction. (I *think* that the '^' means press,
instead of the "pull" which I would have expected, but what I have is
stored somewhere else, and not easy to access, so I may be
mis-remembering.
Squeeze On,
